Chapter 24: The Big Competition Begins
The Tianhuo Sect's once-in-fifty-year competition is in full swing.
On the central square of the Zongmen, dozens of arenas have been erected.
In addition to his daily tasks and training, Jiang Chen also took advantage of the rest time to come to the arena of the Zongmen's Dabi, watching the Dabi timidly, as a way to pass the time when he was bored.
He has flaming golden eyes, and he can see the entire arena without getting too close.
On one of the arenas, two disciples who had entered the eighth level of Dao faced each other.
One of these two is a disciple of Casting Equipment Hall, and the other is a disciple of Alchemy Hall. Among the many disciples of Tianhuo Sect, they are not bad.
Represents the level of most disciples with ordinary talents!
The two held a long sword with three layers of restraint, and the other held an iron pestle for pounding medicine, and they kept fighting.
The spiritual power spurted, and the aftermath of the flames collided continuously exploded to the surroundings, and was firmly blocked by the protective circle outside the ring.
Under the arena, there was a sound of applause and applause.
"Senior Brother Wang's one-handed blaze started a prairie fire, and with one swing of the sword, the wildfire impacted the sky, it's the pinnacle!"
"Senior Brother Tian is not bad either. The iron pestle in his hand dances airtightly and clumsily, and there is a faint flame stirring on it. It is obvious that he is planning to use some unique trick!"
On the surrounding stands, many deacons and elders nodded slightly. The disciples in the audience were even more cheering and cheering.
Only Jiang Chen who was not far away shook his head slightly.
Judging from his current cultivation base of the Eighth Layer of the Divine Sea, coupled with the supernatural power of the flame golden eyes.
The moves and skills of these two people are really clumsy and full of flaws, and they are not much better than children dancing swords.
Both of them performed Huang-level exercises, and they hadn't practiced to great success yet. Compared with the several profound-level exercises he possessed, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's rubbish.
After just watching for a moment, Jiang Chen lost interest.
He turned to look at the other two inner disciples who had reached the Divine Sea Realm, and one of them was Xu Xin from the Alchemy Palace, one of his disciples.
At this time, Xu Xin's cultivation was already in the third heaven of the sea of gods. For this big competition, this girl also practiced very diligently for a while.
Xu Xin's talent was already good, but she spent more time on refining medicine. Although her cultivation base has not been slow to improve, she has gradually widened the gap with the people in the first echelon.
However, although Xu Xin was well-known, her combat experience seemed to be very poor, and she was quickly defeated by her opponent, a disciple of the Third Heaven of the Divine Sea.
"This silly girl, who obviously has a good hand of cards, was beaten badly by her!"
Jiang Chen saw through Xu Xin at a glance. Not only was this woman's natal spirit fire level higher than the opponent's, but the quality of the exercises she practiced was also much better than the opponent's. Even the clothes she wore were magic weapons.
It can be said that apart from the same realm, Xu Xin is better than the other from head to toe.
But the status quo is that Xu Xin was almost hanged and beaten.
"See, this is a blatant example! The most important thing for our generation of monks is to have our own cultivation base and fighting skills!"
"Du Ze will be like this. He is obviously better than the other party, but he just gets beaten and wasted all his talent and equipment."
In the stands, Elder Zhu of the Foundry Hall stroked his beard, glanced provocatively at Elder Hao who was sitting not far away, and said with a smile.
In the arena, the disciple who fought against Xu Xin was his apprentice.
The two had been at loggerheads since the beginning, and later one of them entered the Alchemy Hall, and the other entered the Casting Hall.
Even today, they still don't like each other, and they will sarcasm each other whenever they have the opportunity.
I didn't expect today,
The apprentices of the two of them actually met together.
"Humph!"
"The little disciple went up to see the world. What does fighting skills have to do with us alchemists?"
Elder Hao snorted coldly, and counterattacked unconvinced.
The disciples of their alchemy hall generally have poor fighting ability, this is a fact, and he has no way to refute it.
Elder Zhu chuckled, and didn't continue talking, otherwise that face-saving Elder Hao, wouldn't he have to fight for his life in public.
Elder Hao just had a stubborn mouth, he didn't see the nervousness on his face now, how could he not care so much when he said it.
"Obviously the opponent's cultivation base is the same as mine, but why can't I beat him? How could this be?"
Xu Xin dealt with the opponent's attack carefully, and took a few pills of Qi recovery when the attack was in between.
Pills are also a part of a practitioner's strength. As long as they are not contraband, taking them is not prohibited in the Zongmen Grand Competition, but each person is only allowed to carry ten pills at most.
Now, the elixir that Xu Xin took was already the eighth elixir she had brought.
In other words, she was almost pushed to the bottom of her rope.
"Hmph, am I going to fail this time!"
The two fought for a while, and the mana that Xu Xin had just recovered was almost exhausted again.
At this time, in Xu Xin's mind, it appeared that when she was alchemy before, she also failed constantly, constantly failing.
Now she is like alchemy, it seems that it is not difficult, but in practice, she has been hitting a wall.
"In the way of alchemy, remember to have distracting thoughts in your mind. Any successful method is just a reference. Remember not to form it rigidly, but to comprehend it with your heart, so that you can walk out of your own path."
At this moment, what the mysterious alchemy master said suddenly appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
Suddenly, a flash of light seemed to flash through his mind!
"I understand, there is actually no difference between fighting skills and alchemy. Although the moves and exercises are important, you can't completely stick to them. Otherwise, after a routine, the opponent doesn't even need to think about it, they will know which move you are going to use!"
Suddenly, Xu Xinming realized.
At this time, she didn't even have any opponents in her eyes, only the skills she had learned.
At this time, when the opponent attacked, she subconsciously made a move that started a blazing fire.
The move this time was far beyond the opponent's expectations, and the move was smooth and flawless, with almost no flaws, which made it very difficult for the disciple to deal with.
After one move, Xu Xin didn't continue to perform another move, wildfires flew, but hit the palm of fire, and the big hand formed by the flames stunned the opponent at once.
Taking advantage of such a short period of time, Xu Xin shot repeatedly, constantly exceeding the opponent's expectations, completely disrupting the opponent's rhythm.
All of a sudden, he moved back to the disadvantage, and finally hit the sky-high flames fiercely, hitting the opponent's body fiercely, and won the game.
